What Hawaii law requires when you teach your child at home — the filings, the deadlines, the records — and what it does not require, in writing.
Notice: Notice of intent (Form 4140 or letter) to the principal of the local public school before beginning homeschooling.
Ongoing duties: Standardized testing in grades 3, 5, 8, and 10, plus an annual progress report submitted to the principal.
Withdrawal from public school: no codified withdrawal procedure — a dated written notice to the school is the practice, and it creates your paper record.
